Thunder Bunnies Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Gillis seems to be busy today, making decisions on not qualifying a bunch if players and letting Gragnani go who was suppose to be one of the main pieces for Hodgson deal ..I see this as either making room for Justin Schultz and/or making room for a upcoming trade. Would love to see a deal that ships out Luongo for a good hockey trade return and Schultz signing with the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyking Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sami Salo brings a calming presence on the back end. His smooth plays and bomb of a shot help this team out a lot. He also brings stability on D also, Salo is a MUST sign for MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray_Cathode Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I haven't seen much of him, but other than a big shot from the point what does he really bring? Hell, sign Souray. for 1/3 the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAN_FAN_MATT Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've said this so many times before, but the Canucks NEED to rid themselves of Ballard's contract. He's making waaaayyy too much money for a bottom six/7th defenseman. At this point I would be ok with them giving Ballard away for a 3rd round pick. I hope it happens soon so we have some cap room to play with after July 1st. CBJ or NYI would possibly take him for a 2013 3rd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 He did mention previously, however, that it would not have to be the Canucks. If Vancouver is unwilling to offer him a contract, he may sign with another club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonz Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 To thread starter, what do you expect the team do? Resign everyone and have exact same team next year? You want the team make changes but sound lik its normal to make changes without personnel changing. Makes no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Hopefully we just dumped them to upgrade. Gragnani replaced by Schultz Duco replaced by Tootoo Oreskovich was already replaced by Weise Parent replaced by anyone better Ebbett replaced by Schroeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Is Schultz the new "Kings New Clothes?"............ Honestly I can't believe we would even look at this guy .............He is reported to be 6'-2" and 186 lbs. The guy would be blown over by a light wind................and he has next to bugger all NHL experience as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 1. he's only 22 and will pack on some pounds as he ages. 2. Nick Lidstrom is only 6-1 190lbs, so many others around this size. 3. he may have no NHL experience but this is like buying a 1st round draft pick. 4. If he wasn't good teams wouldn't be lining up to get a shot at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arsenalian Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 We need someone big, young and good now.........I have put forward the name of Luca Sbisa who is also 22 and was drafted about 19. He has good figures for last season in NHL but will take $2.5M from cap. He is far more worthwhile as far as I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Why would Anaheim trade Luca Spisa? Schultz is, at worst, a free prospect. That is why people are excited. All 30 NHL teams reportedly have at least some interest, and why wouldn't they. Free prospect is free. To the OP's point: Letting those guys go doesn't really free up that much cap space as others have said so I don't think it means anything really. Rome in particular will probably sign somewhere else for a spot in the top six (and probably a raise) that we can't give him especially if we want to get better on D. Not signing those defensemen yet also signals to Schultz that there is room for him here. If we don't get Schultz we can always try to re-sign them later, and in the case of Salo, we probably will.
